How to make a Christmas tree out of succulents

If you've been searching for the perfect Christmas tree for a tiny home or apartment, but still haven't found it, look no further than this ingenious mini Christmas tree you can make entirely from succulents!

That makes them ideal for making a compact living Christmas tree. Unlike other traditional Christmas tree plants, there'll be no need to worry about pine-needles scattered all over the carpet, and are relatively affordable to buy.
